John and Cari are en route to the 2024 MADE Bike Show and stopped along the way to see the Paul Component Engineering fam in Chico, California. While there, we checked out Paul’s Meriwether Cycles touring fat bike. This collaboration bike with Oddity Cycles is a three-year project, but if you’re like us, you’ll agree it was well worth the wait. Let’s check it out!
Want a truly unique pair of Klampers, hand assembled from random anodizing colors, complete with a certificate of authenticity? Look no longer! The Paul Component Engineering Series One is just that. Each pair of Klampers is a one-of-one colorway in a sealed box with certificate of authenticity included. The boxes are chosen at random upon ordering and we don’t even know which box has each colorway.

Our buddies at Paul Component Engineering based the original Groovy Barrel Adjusters from Magura’s 1970s adjusters, but scaled them down by 50%. The original Magura adjusters were massive, so you could adjust your moto cables through thick gloves. Now, they’ve gone even smaller with these cute Baby Groovy Barrel Adjusters ($20 – $60). You can use these on everything from brake levers, calipers, derailleurs, or hangers.
Paul precision-machines these in HOT ass (it’s supposed to hit 110º today) Chico California from 6061 American milled aluminum or natural brass, anodize them every color of the rainbow, and they’re available in Paul’s Webshop or from your favorite bike shop… right now.
Our buddy Paul can ride any balleur, custom bike he wants, yet he chooses to have a gaggle of Surlys… why?!?! This is great, team Paul Component!
Paul Component Engineering and Wilde Bikes teamed up for a super rad collection of parts with a “Zebra Splatter” anodized finish. This collection includes (70) Boxcar stems, (10) Tall and Handsome seatposts, (6) Neo-Retro/Touring Cantilever brakes, and (5) sets of Love levers. Check ’em out at Wilde.
Ever-digging through cycling esoterica, John landed a set of Paul Component Engineering Cranks recently, thus spurring a desire to wax poetic about them, juxtaposed by a recent comment he read last month on this very website. Read on for a ramble…
It’s become a tradition for Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and Paul Component Engineering to collaborate on an off-the-wall bike to showcase at Sea Otter Classic and then raffle off to raise money for a select non-profit. An enigmatic headturner, this year’s collective build will benefit The Roam Collective and came together around a custom titanium frame made by HotSalad Bikes. Dedicated to women past and present in cycling, the Wild and Weird Sierra Roamer pays tribute to legendary mountain biker Jacquie Phelan and her Cunningham race bike, “Otto.” Take a closer look below and consider contributing to the raffle!
The problem with the PAUL cranksets is the chainrings wear out and they’re not compatible with narrow-wide 1x setups, so you’ve gotta run a chain guide. They’re also not compatible with 10, 11, or 12-speed drivetrains. BTCHN’ bikes have been there… so they made this PAUL crankset adapter. This is 3D printed in aluminum and will bolt up to your Paul Crankset using their factory chainring bolts. It will adapt to any 104BCD chainring using standard 1x chainring bolts while maintaining the original chainline.
First debuted at the 2022 MADE Bike Show and pre-ordering now for $95.

John sent his 1984 Mountain Goat Whiskeytown Racer over to the team at Paul Component Engineering to let it taste the dirt of its homeland. Travis, Patrick, and Paul took it on a history ride of Chico! Paul decided to take you to the place it was built, the bike shop that sold it, and the first place it was ridden, so come along for the ride!
We love our friends in the Maker community, and during a recent build, John stumbled upon some nifty headset spacers from White Industries. Check out what makes these spacers so unique below!
